Two by the HDD cable have slightly gunky stuff on the top - looks like
barnacles on a ship's hull - but other than that, they all _look_ clear and flat.

Leaking is the last stage of capacitor failure, others on the board are probably degraded to the point where they don't work but just haven't sprung a leak yet. Got to concur with Andrew, unfortunately. It's dead as a dodo unless you can be bothered replacing all the caps.
